Baltimore County police have identified the Bel Air man who was killed in a crash Tuesday night in Kingsville. The cause of the crash, which injured three other people, is being investigated, police said yesterday.

Police said the accident occurred just before 6 p.m. on Belair Road near Gremecy Park Road when the driver of a 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse heading south on Belair Road crossed the center line and collided with an oncoming Acura. Then, after colliding with a southbound 1994 Dodge Caravan, the Eclipse struck a parked truck.

The driver of the Acura, James Charles Rogers, 44, of the 1700 block of Landmark Drive in Bel Air, was taken to Maryland Shock Trauma Center, where he died of his injuries.

The driver of the Eclipse was identified as Christopher James Peotter, 18, of the 700 block of Roland Ave. in Bel Air. Peotter was taken to John Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, where he was treated and released. His passenger, Andrew Michael Todd, 17, of the 900 block of Hepburn Lane in Bel Air, was taken to Shock Trauma, where he was listed last night in critical condition.

The driver of the Caravan, Janice Marian Angelozzi, 53, of the 12000 block of Brooknoll Road in Kingsville, sustained minor injuries.

Police said Peotter was driving on a suspended license and that alcohol was not a factor in the crash.
